Frequently asked

Which server is fastest for streaming?
A server in your home country geographically closest to the streaming provider’s CDN. Distance matters more than country prestige — a London server for a UK service from continental Europe beats a US one for the same service, even if both technically work.
Does my bank block VPN traffic?
Sometimes. Use a server in your home country, ideally a "dedicated IP" if your bank flags shared IPs, and keep the connection consistent across the session. Switching countries mid-login is the fastest way to get a fraud-flag freeze on your account.
Should I leave the VPN on all the time?
Yes, on auto-connect for untrusted networks with the kill switch enabled. Set it once and it protects you on every new café and hotel without you remembering. The protection you forget to turn on is the one that fails you.
How do I troubleshoot a stream that won’t play?
Switch to another server in the same country, clear the streaming site’s cookies, and restart the app. Streaming services rotate blocklists; the trick is having multiple working servers ready, which a paid VPN with many endpoints provides as the actual product.
